Several customers of doctor Chandrashekhar Chawan demonstrated
their glittering and spell-binding eyes in his office.

Nano particles of 24 carat gold were added to regular contact
lenses in a special form of a paste, which made their price jump
to $15,000 (€13,162) – $18,000 (€15,794). Each contact weighs 5
grams, as an extra layer is applied to avoid contact between the
eyes and the gold.

“This is the latest fashion in the world – eye jewelry. You
can wear the eye jewelry and everybody will keep looking at you
and they will get mesmerized in your eyes,” Chawan told
Ruptly news agency.

The lenses were developed in collaboration with ARC Contact
Lenses LLC in the US. However, some American experts have
expressed safety concerns over the lenses, according to the Daily
Mail report.

“I got mixed responses – some said its looks scary, but most
of the people loved it,” said Chawan in a Today.com
interview. “Bollywood personalities loved the concept, that
it’s going to be ‘in thing’ in fashion soon."

“Look at Lady Gaga and her followers,” Chawan added.
“People take time to digest [new fashion], until some
celebrity starts using it.”

The idea to glamorize the look ventured as far as to adding
diamonds to extravagant golden contact lenses. Surprisingly, the
doctor was inspired by cosmetic dentistry, as his wife has
diamonds planted on her teeth.
